Hi Cousins,
I got an inquiry from a DNA match (Susan Katzban) on 23andme that I'm wondering if any of you can help me with….
The Inquiry:
The Jane Vosper I'm interested in married William Prideaux (1801-1842) on January 1st 1828 in Stoke Damerel, Cornwall. They had about 6 children (Thomas 1831, Mary Ann 1833, William 1836, Christiana 1837, Richard 1839 and Harriet 1841).
Of these children the one I'm interested in is Thomas, who married Mary Truscott) and they had about 6 children (Harriett J 1854, William 1857, Thomas H 1859, Laura M 1863, Richard 1866, and Arnold 1870)
Of these children I'm interested in Richard, who married a lady named Elizabeth. In the 1911 Census they are shown as living on this farm in Cornwall.

I do have this on my tree, but it is completely unsourced:
it came from an unsourced tree by " jradway68".
Family Search has the marriage record – but no parents names given:
Family Search has 2 possible Jane Vospers, this one:
And this one:
This is my tree. Since she is a DNA match, she should match on it:
Do any of you know who tis Jane Vosper married to William Prideaux is? Who her parents were? Any sources?

Subject: 23andme match to Tom Bennett with Susan Brent Katzban - probable Vosper ancestry
Hi Susan. I found your email address and have run some analysis of various Vosper cousins against your GEDMatch Kit #. I have gotten many other Vosper DNA Kit #s since we last corresponded in February. I have copied several Vosper Cousins who you also match. Here is my analysis:
Me: 
My brother, Tom: 
My ½ brother,Robert: 
My 2nd cousin, Robert Vosper:
Paula Vosper: no match
Another Vosper cousin, James Vosper: 
Leslie (Vosper Cousin): 
Sheila (Vosper Cousin):
Yvonne (Vosper Cousin):
I'm pretty sure you must be a Vosper descendant! Here is how all us Vosper Cousins are related (you match all the people in yellow):
I found your tree on Ancestry! Yeah! We both have family from Pillaton, Cornwall. Susan's tree on Ancestry is at :
This is what it shows, geographically, for a common location. My Vosper family was from the small town of Pillaton.
